CREATIVITY
IN SERVICE

OF DOGS

Let's face it — life is better with dogs. My Barking Life celebrates that bond through stories, adventures, practical advice, and original artwork inspired by Pike, Gus, and the dogs we meet along the way. Every purchase and every act of support helps fund advocacy efforts that give shelter dogs a better chance at finding forever homes.

Not home yet.

Some dogs wait weeks. Some wait months. Some wait long enough that people stop noticing them. We sponsor their adoption fees — using proceeds from our art and merchandise — so that when the right person finally comes along, cost isn't the thing standing in the way.

Introducting
the Junior Dog Guardians Program!

Good dog guardians start young. Junior Dog Guardians is a kid-friendly program that teaches young people (and their adults) how to understand, respect, and safely live alongside dogs. Through simple, engaging lessons we hope to teach everyone how to become better guardians of our furry family members.

Your dog. Your donation. A little art for a big cause.

Throughout October, My Barking Life is turning dog photos into custom digital portraits to benefit the Coshocton County Animal Shelter and Humane Animal Treatment Association.

​

Donate at least $5, send me your proof of donation and a photo of your dog. Choose your style, and I’ll create a one-of-a-kind digital portrait just for you.

​

Every donation helps support spay/neuter efforts, which is an important first step in reducing shelter overpopulation.

 

Help prevent the problem. Get some art. Make a difference. Everybody wins!
